  April 24/25th Armenian Genocide Memorial Day in remembrance of some 1,500,000 Armenians who fell to Ottoman decree annihilation intended murder on account of their Christian religion, Armenian race and being born in their 4,000 year ol home land in Anatolia (Before Turkey) of 4,000 years

  Till this day they are a "Forgotten People" without recognition and restitution of their stolen land, homes, churches and lives which were lost on a torturous death path of terror and tears from Constantinople into the barren deserts of Dara, Syria where without burial their remains can still be found since 1917 :-(

  An appropriate world Karmic understanding and reaction, could possibly prevented yet another horrendous inhumanity, the Nazi Holocaust in Europe :-(

   

  Prayer: 'requiescat in pace' for all people who fell under the sword

  Lyrics

  They fell that year
  They vanished from the earth
  Never knowing the cause
  Or what laws they'd offended
  The women fell as well
  And the babies they tendered
  Left to die, left to cry
  All condemned by their birth

  They fell like rain
  Across the thirsty land
  In their heart, they were slain
  In their God, still believing
  All their pity and pain
  In that season of grieving
  All in vain, all in vain
  Just for one helping hand

  For no one heard their prayers
  In a world bent on pleasure
  From others people cares
  They simply closed their eyes
  They create a lot of sound
  In jazz and right-time measure
  The trumpets screamed till dawn
  To drown the children's cries

  They fell like leaves
  Hit people its prime
  Simple man, kindly man
  And not one knew his crime
  They became in that hour
  Like the small desert flower
  Soon covered by the silent wind
  In sands of time

  They fell that year
  Before a cruel foe
  They had little to give
  But their lives and their passion
  And their longing to live
  In their way
  In their fashion
  So their harvest could thrive
  And their children could grow

  They fell like flies
  Their eyes still full of sound
  Like a dove in its flight
  In the path of a rifle
  That falls down where it might
  As if death were a trifle
  And to bring to an end
  A life barely begun

  And I am of that race
  Who died in unknown places
  Who perished in their pride
  Whose blood in rivers ran
  In agony and flight
  With courage on their faces
  They went into the night
  That waits for every man

  They fell like tears
  And never knew what for
  In that summer of strife
  Of massacre and war
  Their only crime was life
  Their only guilt was being
  The children of Armenia
  Nothing less, nothing more

  Songwriters: Herbert Kretzmer, Charles Aznavour, George Garvarentz
